[GeoNetwork-users] missing thumbnails attached to records

GeoNetwork GeoNetwork User
1

Hello list,

I have a fresh Geonetwork 4.2.2 install running on Windows Server with ES 7.17.8 and Kibana 7.17.8 configured. There is an Apache2 instance in front running as a proxy/reverse proxy.

I have noticed an issue with missing attachments linked to a metadata record. Thumbnails are uploaded according the method outlined in the docs [1] and are uploaded and appear in the public folder of the external data directory. However, while the metadata record is available through https://server.angus.gov.uk/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata the thumbnail image is being served from http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/api/records/. I need to edit the XML to correct the path to make the image display.

Have I misconfigured something somewhere? Should Geonetwork be writing the correct server name to the metadata record? Should the Apache2 reverse proxy be rewriting the resource URL?

I've come across several other mentions of similar problems but with old versions of Geonetwork [2] and when harvesting records in 2016 [3], 2017 [4] and more recently [5]. I've not found a resolution to the problem other than manually editing each record with the correct path.

Thanks in advance

Ross

Hello Ross,

It seems like you didn't set the server name, port and protocol in the settings section of the admin console. In your case they should be set as

* Host: server.angus.gov.uk

* Port: 443

* Preferred protocol: https

After that you will need to go to Contribute -> Batch update and replace https://localhost:8080/geonetwork/ by https://server.angus.gov.uk/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata.

Finally go to Admin Console -> Tools -> Reindex records.

Best regards,

Juan Luis.

Thank you Juan Luis

Such a simple fix. That has resolved the problem. I have updated my notes.

Kind regards
